Songs of Odgar The Fourth

Odgar IV's only published volume of music, the Songs of Odgar The Fourth, were famously not published by the author himself. Rather an interloper in court had managed to hear Odgar's semi-private performances over a number of years and secretly record them, eventually marketing a book which not only stole Odgar's tunes but misrepresented his name.

There are a hundred and twenty eight tunes in the book, all of which are listed here:

The book is still in print, and is currently being published by the same Grommie family newsgroup that prints the Iganefta Recorder, whose publishing facility mysteriously and surprisingly moved to Folktown last week.

That Minstrel in the Corner is Weirding me Out also appears in Iganefta Pilgrimage Songs and is attributed to York of Brahang. Whether this is because York overheard someone singing it and thought to profit by it or whether it is Odgar IV who did the same by purloining a popular folktune of the day is hard to say. --Dr. H.

I'd always been told that it was Odgar's way of intimating to the interloper that he'd been spotted, and that's why it's the last song. Shows what I know. --Sean B. Palmer 19:51, 25 Feb 2005 (EST)
